"he would not fucking say that" has a younger sibling called "i don't know what he WOULD say but whatever it is its not THAT"

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

We have SO MUCH MORE media we can consume these days. If TV shows and movies aren't made (or are made badly for a while) because of this strike, we still have plenty of things to do.

I'm sorry your favorite show's new season may be delayed or even canceled. Truly. I'm not being sarcastic, I do truly feel for you.

But it is much more important that the people creating it earn a fair wage and fair treatment.

Yeah, it'll suck to not have good shows and movies and whatever. But we'll be fine. We live in a truly magical day and age where an unlimited amount of content is available to us at all times.

And you know what? This is a great chance to support creators that don't work for big companies.

Companies like Disney want to weaponize your feelings about your favorite shows being delayed/cancelled.

Don't let them.

You can feel your feelings. It's fine. You're valid for being upset.

But don't take your anger out on the actors and writers that are just trying to earn a living.

You missed the part where I say “it’s okay to feel your feelings”, huh? 🙃

Fuck off.

People are allowed to have extreme reactions to media. Sometimes people can’t help it, especially if they have mental illnesses and/or neurodivergences.

Also, we're SUPPOSED to be getting attached to these things? Like we're supposed to feel emotional connections to the media we enjoy, that's the whole point.

The idea that it's bad to havr emotional reactions to things being cancelled is absurd, especially when part of the WGA strike specifically is about writers being forced to abandon shows and projects they love. "It's stupid to care about tv shows" is a slap in the face to the writers and actors and designers and everyone else who are putting their hearts and souls into art that they're fighting to have more control over.

if you are getting mad bc your favorite show isn't coming out as soon or is getting delayed, be mad at the execs for refusing to meet and negotiate with the wga and sag aftra, not at the actors and writers who also love the show and who are perfectly willing to negotiate and keep making your favorite show.

and remember, if you want new shows to watch, but they aren't on a streaming service you have/you dont want to pay:

maybe look in your local public library, i have been told that not all have dvds, but my citys public library system bas plenty of dvds, you judt have to ask :)

I’m obsessed with this scene from eclipse lake

Some might see it as comedy or a visual gag on the word play of the ‘common mold’ or they might see it as foreshadowing to Luz’s death, which is understandable since she turns into a mold-like cluster.

But I think it’s deeper than that. I personally see it as using fungi as symbolism or storytelling tool to Luz’s character and development.

I have 2 points I’d like to make about that, first about Luz herself.

One of, if not, the most distinguishable trait of luz is that she’s human, it’s what sets her apart from all the other boiling isles inhabitants, to the point it became her moniker in a world full of witches and demons to many characters.

And genealogically speaking humans are more related to fungi than any other kingdom, more than even plants. We share nearly 50% of our DNA with fungi, enough for us to contract many of the same viruses a they do.

so putting the scientific perspective on the side let’s take a look at the poetic point of view.

Due to the fact that fungi’s main purpose in our ecosystem is to break down living matter and release other substances into the soil and atmosphere, they have always been a symbol for rebirth and resurrection, reincarnation and rejuvenation and regeneration.

Which yes might eludes to the finale where luz literally died and came back to life but you could also see it as luz being rebirthed into the boiling isles. There she started a new life, with a new family to love, a new house to live in, a new dream to look up to, new relationships to make and maintain, basically a brand new life.

Last thing, like luz, mycology and mycologists have always been overlooked and unappreciated, even in the scientific community. According to an article published in the guardian, fungi weren’t seen as their own kingdom of life until the 60s. Mycologists were put in a corner of the plant sciences department, rather than in their own fungal sciences department. And you could see how neglecting that must feel. But while being overlooked like fungi, mycology thrived in the dark and the damp.

The second point I’d like to make is not the fungi’s relation to luz herself but to her magic or at least how she uses magic i.e. glyphs.

We know glyphs are the first and oldest form of magic, just like how fungi was the first organism to come to life on earth. And as shown in the show, where different characters used glyphs at some point, that it’s very versatile, it’s very flexible they have a lot of uses and advantages even if many looked at glyphs with condescending disdain at first, we can’t ignore it’s potential.

Which it’s very similar to the strides fungi and mycologist are doing in the industry. Fungi’s application can be found in food, medicine, textiles, fibres, packaging materials, and there are some great research being made to use it as biofuel. And it’s not done, it’s no near being done in the field, and just like how we finished the series with luz discovering new glyphs, scientists all around the world are discovering new fungal species on a daily basis. The future is fungal.

There is no shame in loving without abandon. ✌️❤️

And the real trick to it is falling madly in love with literally everything. Gomez Addams isn't just madly in love with Morticia, he's madly in love with his house, with his train set, with his kids, with his brother, with his weird normie neighbors, with literally everything. Different kinds of love for each, but love all the same. For having such morbid tastes, Gomez is madly in love with life. THAT'S how you land a Morticia, by being unapologetically and madly in love with everything around you.

Bitches love me for my passionate swag and my unrelenting appreciate for the zest of life

for a while there i was sympathetic to tumblr because of how much they’re in debt; i was kind of like “well of course they’re absolutely desperate for new users, they literally need the money or else tumblr goes down forever”. and then suddenly today it hit me that there’s actually no fucking reason for that debt to be causing these ui changes? the userbase has been INCREDIBLY clear about what they want from tumblr over the years, not to mention clear about the fact that even twitter people don’t need this place to look like twitter. it actually would be very… EASY? for them to just make changes in a direction people would actually be HAPPY with?

for fuck’s sake there were people trying to organize a “crab day” for tumblr despite tumblr doing nothing but telling us to go fuck ourselves for months on end. there were people spending hundreds of dollars on check marks just for the glee of MAKING FUN of twitter. can you IMAGINE how much money this userbase would donate to tumblr if they actually made ui updates geared toward what people have been asking for?

if tumblr actually crowdsourced ideas or even just LISTENED to their userbase it may have been possible for them to make way more money than they’re begging for now, they just insist on trying to drive their actual demographic and loyal userbase out for literally no reason
